Treating enlarged prostate with a new electrical pulse device
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called the Steep Pulse Therapy System that uses short electrical pulses to destroy extra prostate tissue without cutting. It is for men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms who have not had prior prostate surgery.
